CNN actually interviewed the passenger who said the pilot had told him the instruments went blank (bit about the pilot is at 2:22 in the video):
edition.cnn.com/2024/03/12/australia/latam-airlines-flight-injuries-new-zealand-tuesday-intl-hnk/index.html
So it seems someone must have lied, either:
- the passenger
- the pilot
- the anonymous officials who allegedly briefed The Air Current journalist
- or the The Air Current Journalist
Boeing has issued a new advisory about 787 pilot seats but the advisory does not mention the LATAM flight.
